Expertise in Structural Engineering: Building Resilience into Every Design

Structural Engineering

Structural engineering is the specialized practice of designing and analyzing various proposed or existing structures including buildings and bridges, water tanks, buried structures such as pump stations, above and below-ground utilities, and a wide variety of other structures where the strength and stability of the structure must be examined.

Structural engineers collaborate with other project designers to ensure a plan is in place to safely build the structure. With the impact of wind, seismic motion, and other influences on the structure, the structural engineering practice is ever-evolving. Structural engineers also research advanced technology regarding best practices in the field and determine the most cost-effective solutions for a project.

Structural engineering is a specialty at WHB, where we have honed our industry-leading expertise in key areas. For example, WHB is a global leader in the structural design of large concrete reservoirs with project experience across the Americas and the Middle East.

Further, WHB is known for the design of underground structures such as pump stations, buried tanks, utility vaults, and similar buried infrastructure.

Our expertise in complex structures ensures the safety and reliability of our built environments and provides the backbone and strength for quality designs.
